Mark 1:35 - Jesus Prays in a Solitary Place
Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.
As people we encounter the events of life. Negative events can crush our spirit and leave us in an inner agony...inner turmoils. The Lord is ready to reach into His sheep - we who believe and are with Him in the spirit. Although we will feel the initial effects of our suffering, Christ will assist us in regaining our peace.
I recall moments of witnessing my Momma crying and praying. She was a strong woman but even so she too had moments where she relied on our Lord to strengthen her. He did - time and time again. It is by her example that I follow suit in my life today.
If you are feeling lowly today, pray. Believe in that prayer. Know that the Lord is with you.
